Chapter 34 Seizing Power and Defeat the Enemy

Chapter 34 Seizing Power and Defeat the Enemy
The man in front was riding a big horse, wearing black armor and a red helmet, with a long sword hanging on one side.
Even when speeding, you can still feel the youthful vigor that is unique to young people.

And that extremely young face, and that half-smile,

Everything proves that they know the person in front of them and are very familiar with him.

At this time, the soldiers also saw who was coming, and they all stood up.
They came forward, their faces showing excitement, and they rushed out of the camp shouting,

"Master Xiaolu!! Master Xiaolu!!"

"It's Master Xiao Lu who's back."

Seeing this scene, Tian Bing glanced at Yan San carefully.
I thought that I had never seen such a lively scene with Lord Yan before.

Those who don’t know would think that Lu Yunyi is the captain of the Houqianhu Suo.

After a moment, Lu Yunyi tightened the reins and stopped his horse.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth:
"My dear colleagues, long time no see!"

"Lord Xiao Lu, I didn't expect that the reinforcement would come from you. Now we are saved." A soldier was a little emotional and cried with joy.

The rest of the soldiers were also somewhat moved by the scene.
After not seeing them for more than ten days, they have already fallen into such a state of disgrace.

There is none of the lofty ambitions that Xiao Lu had when he was young.
So they just want to live well and return to Gyeongju.

Lu Yunyi was dealing with the soldiers, and his eyes swept over and saw Yan San standing in front of the military tent.

He smiled generously and waved his hand in the sky:
"Master Yan, long time no see."

Yan San's face froze, and he raised his hand with a forced smile, waved it gently, and muttered softly:
"Better not to."

Having said that, Yan San still breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had some grudge against Lu Yunyi,
But he still trusted Lu Yunyi to do things.
When he came here, these thousands of people were saved.

Yan San nudged Tian Bing with his elbow and said impatiently:
"What are you still standing there for? Go and invite Lu Yunyi to the military tent."

"Ah yes!"

Lu Yunyi said to the quartermaster of the rear thousand households:
"Please also provide some accommodation for the brothers and prepare some food and clean water for them. They have been exhausted from all the traveling."

The quartermaster waved his hand.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he shouted "OK".
This was probably the most generous thing the soldiers had ever seen him do.

Lu Yunyi jumped off his horse and exchanged greetings with the familiar soldiers.

He followed Tian Bing directly to Yan San's military tent.

As he walked along, Tian Bing felt cold all over and was secretly worried about Master Yan.
Anyone can see that this thousand-man team is led by Lu Yunyi.
I didn't expect that after just a few days of not seeing Lu Yunyi, he had become equal to the three great masters Yan.
The way the world works can catch people off guard.

Thinking of the bold words that Master Yan San made after learning of Yan Wujian's death,

He kept asking him to pay the price.

Looking back now, it seems like nothing more than a pipe dream.

With an uneasy mood, Tian Bing brought Lu Yunyi to the military tent:
"Master Lu, please. Master Yan has been waiting for a long time."

"Hmm." Lu Yunyi glanced at him lightly and walked into the military tent thoughtfully.

The military tent was no longer luxurious as before. Even the tiger skin that he carried with him wherever he went was gone. There was no incense burner in the corner of the military tent.
What wafted in the air was no longer a faint fragrance, but instead a faint smell of blood and some bitter taste of medicinal residue.

From this perspective, Yan San looked much more miserable.

Even he himself was pale and thin at the moment.

He leaned weakly on the back of the chair, looking as if he was seriously ill.

"Master Yan, long time no see."

Lu Yunyi was no longer as humble as before, but stood straight in front of him, looking at him intently.
The voice became loud again, echoing in the military tent and making Yan San's head buzz.

Without waiting for Yan San to speak, Lu Yunyi walked straight to a chair.
He sat down as if nothing had happened, and winked at Tian Bing who was standing at the door:

"Bring some tea, what are you standing there for?"

Such a despicable act made Yan San's pale face look a little redder, it was just because of his anger!

Why did he always think that this young man was naive and easy to get along with?
Yan San only hated himself for being blind.

Seeing that Tian Bing was still hesitating and not moving,

Yan San was immediately furious.

They need help now, so what are they waiting for before serving tea?

“Bring the tea!!”

Tian Bing suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly ran to serve tea and water, looking a little embarrassed.

Lu Yunyi was not polite either. He sat on the chair unscrupulously and said lightly:
"Sir Yan, I have been ordered by Lord Changxing to come and look for you.

If he's alive, I want to see him in person; if he's dead, I want to see his body."

Yan San's face froze again. He could only understand that it didn't matter whether he lived or died, but who would be willing to die if they could live.

He calmed himself down and forced a smile on his face:
"Thank you, Lord Changxing. We sent out the letter for help just two days ago, and Brother Lu has arrived. This is really a blessing for me."

"Two days? Letter?" Lu Yunyi's eyes gleamed, and he understood.

The two marquises in the army really knew about this matter, so this military mission was probably used to test him.

See if he will just watch someone die without helping.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi collected his thoughts and spoke calmly:
"Without further ado,

I also ask Lord Yan to tell us everything about the elite troops of the Naiman tribe, including their numbers, weapons, and combat power."

"How do you know it's the Naiman tribe?"

Yan San was shocked. He spent a lot of effort to find out who the enemy was. How did Lu Yunyi know?

Lu Yunyi did not hide anything and said:

"Master Yan, do you still remember the small tribe of 500 people that we wiped out? That was one of the branches of the Naiman tribe.

When we came here, we stopped there to rest and met more than a hundred people from the Naiman tribe. Then we learned that it was the Naiman tribe who were chasing you. "

Hearing this, Yan San was no fool and immediately understood the meaning:
"So why did the elite Naiman come here? Are they here for the people from that branch?"

"Exactly."

Yan San's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heartbeat also accelerated involuntarily.
He has realized that he has become a scapegoat.
The small group was wiped out by Lu Yunyi, so he took all the credit.

You can also use the general's help to escape in time and leave when the task is done.

The Qingzhou guards and Yan San became scapegoats and enjoyed the attacks from the Naiman tribe.

Yan San only felt a dull pain in the wound on his abdomen, and he could hardly control himself. He had taken the knife for Lu Yunyi.
When I think about how grateful I am to him,

Yan San couldn't cope with the situation anymore, his eyes became bloodshot and his fists clenched tightly.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Yunyi frowned a little:

"Master Yan, if you want to escape from danger now,

You must inform me of the details of the Naiman elite so that I can arrange an evacuation plan.

At the same time, we will try our best to save our Ming army soldiers, and please don't act rashly, Lord Yan."

woohoo~~
Yan San was panting like an old cow, his breathing was heavy, and his face was full of ferocity.

The wound on the abdomen seemed to tear open, and blood gushed out.

Not long after, Yan San slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he barely suppressed his anger and waved his hand:
"Give the military report to Lord Lu. Our safety depends entirely on Lord Lu."

It can be heard that Yan San's tone is full of sarcasm.

But Lu Yunyi pretended not to hear and just smiled softly:
"Of course you have to rely on us. Although my subordinates are new soldiers,
But it is natural to draw out the best troops from various units to annihilate the invading enemy."

Yan San sneered, then his face froze:
"You want to fight with the elite troops of the Naiman tribe?"

"What else? If you keep on fighting, you will only be passive. Only by taking the initiative can you turn the tide.
What's more, the army is now in Gyeongju.

If they were sent by the Yuan court to investigate, wouldn't it be a leak of military information if they were allowed to escape? They should be kept here."

Yan San and Tian Bing both felt a strong sense of arrogance coming towards them.

But I also heard the strong confidence in his words.
This made Yan San seem to have returned to the days when Lu Yunyi was his subordinate.

If it were in the past, he would have nodded happily and let it go.
Anyway, he got some of the credit in the end.

But now, he felt that this person was too arrogant, so arrogant that it was hard to accept.

With a light cough, Yan San said:

"The Naiman tribe's elite soldiers are extremely powerful and have excellent horsemanship.

Even if they can win, they will hurt themselves and suffer heavy losses.
Why don't we return to Qingzhou early, let him be the commander, and have him mobilize most of the troops."

Lu Yunyi nodded:
"Master Yan is right, but my army has more than a thousand people, plus your army has several hundred people.
It can be considered as a case of many people beating a few, so it is not impossible to fight. "

"What? My unit is also included?" Yan San's eyes widened, and he straightened his back immediately, shocked.

"Of course, Lord Yan, do you want to dream of returning to Qingzhou unscathed?" Lu Yunyi's face turned cold:
"To be honest with you, Lord Yan, I left Qingzhou for more important military matters.

Rescuing you is just a side job. If Lord Yan wants us to escort you along the way,
Then there is no need to say more, just leave on your own."

"You!! Lu Yunyi, don't forget, you are also a member of the Qingzhou guard!" Yan San was furious.

Lu Yunyi was also unceremonious. He slapped the small table on which the teacups were placed, and shouted:
"Master Yan, please don't be so presumptuous. We are soldiers and our orders are as heavy as a mountain!
Since Lord Yan's troops dare not fight,
As long as I can find Lord Yan's body on my way back, I will have fulfilled the military order of the Marquis of Changxing.

My army has more important military duties to attend to, so I will not accompany you any longer."

After saying that, Lu Yunyi stood up and walked out of the military tent.

Yan San's face looked extremely ugly, with blue and purple flashes.
If he could return alone, why would he hide here?
"Wait, I promise you, I can lead my troops to fight against them."

Lu Yunyi stood at the entrance of the military tent:
"Lord Yan just needs to take good care of his injuries. You won't have to worry about the specific military arrangements."

Having said that, Lu Yunyi left!

I could vaguely hear the sound of a teacup breaking behind me.

"How outrageous! Such despicable behavior! Such despicable behavior!
It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've become like this?

I haven't settled accounts with him yet, but he's already become arrogant???"

Yan San was furious in the military tent and started cursing.
Frightened, Tian Bing quickly lowered the entrance curtain and held it tightly to block out the sound.

At the same time, he reminded quietly: "Master Yan, Master Lu is a humble person, he must have a plan for doing this."

"Master Lu? You called him?" Yan San's eyes widened in disbelief.

But Tian Bing stepped forward and said quickly:

"The whole Qianhu Office knows about Master Lu's temper.
He behaved like this just to seize military power, which was the quickest way.

My Lord, think about it, if things are still the same as before, can you easily hand over the soldiers to him for command?"

Yan San's expression changed and his brows furrowed. There was some truth in what he said.

But he still glared at her:

"When shall I hand over the soldiers to him for command?"

Seeing that the adults were still stubborn, Tian Bing quickly slapped himself twice:

"It's just a villain talking nonsense."

"Never mind, my wound has split open again. Help me go back and rest. Don't disturb me."

Tian Bing blinked his eyes and said in a resounding voice:
"Yes, sir. I will not let those soldiers disturb you."

At night, the sky is gloomy,
There was a sparse drizzle of rain falling, making crackling sounds when it hit the ground.

Not only Lu Yunyi did not sleep in the entire camp, all the soldiers were fully armed and did not sleep.

At this moment, Lu Yunyi paced back and forth in a military tent, thinking constantly in his mind.

He calculated the time, place and direction from which the enemy might attack, with a serious look on his face.

At this time, Wu Fuliu hurried over and whispered:
"Sir, all the soldiers have been packed and are ready to go at any time.

On this trip, the Qingzhou rear guard is in the middle, and our troops are on the outside, so we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Lu Yunyi nodded gently:
"Let them wait where they are. They must not take off their armor, fall asleep, or make any noise."

There was a hint of doubt in Wu Fuliu's eyes.
But a military order is a military order. He just bowed and said yes, then left the tent.

Time passed little by little, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

In the military tent, Lu Yunyi stopped pacing.
Instead, he took out a map, looked at it quietly, and wrote and drew on it.

Soon, he heard a slight noise outside the military tent.
With his brows slightly furrowed, he stood up and quietly walked out of the military tent.

The tent still stood as usual, and soldiers in armor crowded at the door, looking out.

Lu Yunyi just took a quick glance and saw many heads chattering.

"What happened to them?"

Wu Fuliu, who was standing on one side of the military tent, looked unhappy and said quickly:

"Sir, they are asking each other when to set off. They seem to be quite impatient."

Lu Yunyi nodded, not caring, but looked up at the sky and said with emotion:

"It's late at night, let them put out the candles and be quiet."

Wu Fuliu was stunned and blinked: "Sir, you are not leaving?"

"How can we leave? If we don't get rid of the enemy, we won't be able to leave in peace.
What's more, we have more important things to do on this trip, and we can't let them delay our trip."

Lu Yunyi looked at the deep darkness ahead and murmured:

"They stayed here for a day. The Naiman tribe is about to catch up. Leaving now would be a disaster rather than a blessing."

"What about you?" Wu Fuliu was stunned
"Order all troops to be on high alert. If I were a member of the Naiman tribe, I would definitely attack the camp tonight."

"What if they don't come?"

"Then let them leave tomorrow, and we will continue to stay here and wait for the enemy.

It is a method of replacing the real with the fake."

Lu Yunyi left a word and went straight back to the military tent, leaving Wu Fuliu staring at each other in bewilderment.
He didn't know the art of war, but at this moment his eyes were filled with blazing fire and desire.

Keep these words in mind.
For a stupid man like him, if he wants to have clear thoughts and learn about military tactics, he can only memorize them by rote.
